Mine is over 270 and my HDL is only 40 My trygl is 290–very high and i am fine at 69 not a big drinker, quit smoking many years ago my dad has close to the same thing and is now 99 years old and healthy, no drugs and I do not take a thing because I get pains in my stomach from the pills, all of them. My Mom’s side all died young with low cholesterol, heart attacks for the men in their 40′s and 50′s so I don’t by the drug drug theory, they seem to be hard on the body even if they lower it.

theres no such thing as “good” and “bad” cholesterol, LDL and HDL are lipo PROTEINS, thats transfer cholesterol from point A to point B and vice versa. Sugar causes inflammatory responses in your arteries and cause LDL to transport cholesterol from your liver to the artery. If you avoid cholesterol and animal fats from your diet, LDL and cholesterol will get oxidized and build up as plaque in your arteries.

A rational and logical thought process must be used in order to determine if people’s claims are THE truth. Truth is ascertained by a systemic process, not by somebody’s opinion, or how many journals they wrote.
So you see, facts and truths are not relative to a study or a journal; they are NOT relative at all. They are ascertained from a systemic process of resolution.

Well this is the issue of today’s evidence-based medicine, where we only see the evidence the big pharma companies want us to see. People are clueless to this fact and have belief in what they are wrongly led to accept as TRUTH. But it’s nowhere near truth; let alone proof of anything. Medical research is NOT science; it’s big pharma research to figure out how to treat symptoms with drugs. It’s NEVER about understanding the root cause.
